Eric was surprised. “You… Won’t it be an inconvenience? It’s fine. I can wait for them to send it over… No need to force yourself.”
She shrugged nonchalantly. “It’s fine, it’s only a breakup. It’s not like we’ve turned into enemies. Why would this trouble me? I’m not worried. Don’t worry, I guarantee to finish the job. You’re the boss, you make the decision.”
Tiffany might have sounded confident when she said those words, but when she arrived at the ground floor of Jackson’s office, she could not help but feel apprehensive. How was she going to face him? She looked at the time on her watch. There was half an hour left until the second half of the working day. Jackson should not be around at this hour so she still had time to mentally prepare herself. She took a deep breath and walked in. Things were not going as smoothly as she liked them to be. The elevator was still on the twenty-fifth floor so she had to wait a while.
She pulled out her phone and fiddled with it while waiting for the elevator. She put her phone away when the elevator went ‘ding’. She looked into the elevator — it was empty. She sighed in relief. She could imagine how awkward it would be if she ran into any familiar faces in the company.
Soon after, the elevator arrived on the designated floor. Once the elevator doors opened, she quickly walked out. She had only taken two steps when she came to an abrupt stop. There was a group of people standing outside the elevator, and the leader of the pack? Jackson! Based on their position, it looked like they were going downstairs to have a discussion in the meeting room. What were the chances that she would come when they had their monthly staff meeting? How could she have forgotten about that? During the meeting, the senior executives in the company would end their lunch breaks half an hour earlier than usual!
Her heart skipped a beat when their eyes met. There was a slightly sharp look in his eyes. He looked as high-spirited as ever. His finely-tailored suit fit his tall and straight frame. Even in a crowd, he still held the spotlight. He was the most eye-catching of all. The silent indifference in his eyes reminded her that there was no longer any connection between them. That was right. They used to be so close, but now they were like strangers. He no longer belonged to her.
